Award-winning South Korean filmmaker Kim Ki-duk and actor Cho Jae-hyun
have been accused of multiple sexual harassment and assault allegations
in an investigative TV report Tuesday.

The report by MBC's PD Notebook detailed decades of sexual harassment
and assault allegations against the two influential figures in the South
Korean movie scene. New accusations emerged in the TV program, in
addition to a slew of sexual abuse allegations made a couple of months
ago.

Actresses and female film staff accused director Kim, winner of the
Golden Lion of the Venice Film Festival in 2012, of inappropriate
behavior and harassment.

A movie makeup artist who was part of his production team said Kim
approached her and asked her to have sex with him. When she said no, he
followed her to her hotel.

"Women staff members used to say you have to show up at his filming
sites like a filthy bum or be ready to deal with his harassment," she
said in an interview with PD Notebook.

An actress also accused Kim of putting his hand into her shorts while she was sitting on a bench awaiting a taxi.

"That's how he harassed women," she said in the TV program.

Another former staffer alleged that the 58-year-old director put his
hands under a rookie actress' skirt, rubbed her belly and kissed her
forcefully.
"When the actress ran out of the studio, he gave me an address to find her," the former staff member said.
